This invention relates to a cleaner and renovator for wood or the likesurfaces, and is particularly applicable for use in cleansing theexterior woodwork of railway and other cars and carriages, while at thesame time its application may be extended to any articles of wood havinga polished, varnished, or similarly-treated surface.

The product hereinafter described is particularly rapid in its action,free from any ingredients which are at all detrimental to the paintedand, varnished surfaces of woodwork, stonework, and the like, and whilehaving a cleansing action upon brass or other such metal fittings"isfree from any corrosive effect with regard to same, while at the sametime it acts as an excellent disinfectant.

In carrying this invention into effect the product consists of thefollowing ingredients and proportions, the latter of which may be variedwithout departing from the nature of this invention: flour of cereals orwoodpulp, thirty-eight and one-half per cent. weight; muriatic acid,forty-five per cent. weight; chlorid of calcium, sixteen per cent.weight; turpentine, one-half per cent. weight.

preparation, which is allowed to remain for a short period. The paste isthen removed by being thoroughly washed oif with the aid of a softleather or brush, in the course of which all the dirt, grease, and otherdeleterious matter is removed, leaving a perfectly clean surface, whichby the application of a small amount of rubbing witha soft cloth orleather leaves the metal fittings bright.

The inclusion of the chlorid of calcium tends to retain the paste in astate of moisture in any temperature for a considerable period, thusallowing of its easy removal without damage to the polish or varnish,while the terebine forms a disinfectant and obviproduct.
